Development of Pavement Maintenance Management System (PMMS) of Urban Road Network Using HDM-4 Model

Abstract

The aim of the study is to develop Pavement Maintenance Management System (PMMS) for four road sections of urban road network (Patiala, Punjab, India) using Highway Development and Management (HDM-4) model. The HDM-4 provides a deterministic approach in data input and process data of existing road condition, traffic volume and pavement composition to predict road deterioration as per the urban road conditions in terms of International Roughness Index (IRI) value. This study presents the use of HDM-4 model for the computation of optimum Maintenance and Rehabilitation (M&R) strategy for each road section and comparative study of scheduled and condition responsive M&R strategies. The results of present study will be useful for gaining better support for decision-makers for adequate and timely fund allocations for preservation of the urban road network.
